Summary
This study investigated the effect of growth hormone on the growth of infants and toddlers
with Turner syndrome during 2 years of treatment with growth hormone. This was compared with
the growth of infants and toddlers with Turner syndrome who did not receive any growth
hormone treatment. The overall aim was to prevent the growth failure usually seen during this
period. The study also looked at middle ear disease, hearing problems, and cognitive and
behavioral development.
